Coorgi-Cox alphabet

The Coorgi-Cox alphabet was developed in 2005 by a German linguist, Gregg M. Cox, as a new way to write Kodava, a Dravidian language spoken in Karnataka state in southern India. The alphabet was developed in response to a request from Kodava speakers for a unique alphabet to write their language. The Coorgi-Cox alphabet provides a single writing system for all Kodava speakers, and was introduced with CDs and postcards in March and April 2005.
